Recommendations of Science Archive Workshop

Summary

An effective Gemini science archive is technically and scientifically viable due in
large part to the nature of the progressive planning and operations inherent in the Gemini
queue observing mode, the phase I & II observation planning process, the engineering
archive, and the data processing pipelines.

The prioritized requirements for a Gemini science archive are:

Level 1 - Fundamental Requirements

Secure data storage (G, A)

Access control mechanisms (A)

Access to all descriptors necessary to understand the data, including basic information
and science abstract from the original science program(G)
